ERIC JESHURUN EXPRESSES HIS CONCERN FOR GHANAIAN CHURCHES - CHRISTIAN NEWS

Eric Jeshurun, Ghanaian Gospel Singer has shared his worries on How Ghanaian Music Right Organising ( GHAMRO ) may oppose churches in Ghana. The argument on churches paying for use of intellectual property of gospel musicians appears not to be ending any soon as another gospel musician, Eric Jeshrun, has described the ap proach by GHAMRO as problematic . GHAMRO's administrator Abraham Adjetey, seven days earlier, announced their resolution to ensure churches pay for using the intellectual prop- erty of gospel musician. But Eric Jeshrun, who is also a broadcaster, told Christian Agyei Frimpong on Onua FM that one of the challenges Africa presently faces with respect to taxes is the same challenges GHAMRO's decision will face. I don't have a problem if GHAMRO wants to take money from the church but my problem is the approach," he said. I think GHAMRO must begin to conscientize the churches through the Christian Council [of Ghana] because GHAMRO itself has admin- i...

REAPING THE HARVEST

To everything, there is a season - a time to sow, and a time to reap; the farmer ( sower ) certainly has his time of harvest but until he waters his seeds, rids the wheats of the tares and applies the fertilizer he is not guaranteed a good yield. So also is every other sower. Until harvest time comes, there is always something we must do in order to maximize our yield. Some of these are explained below: 1. Clear the weeds from your field “And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.”—Genesis 2:15, KJV The word translated keep in Hebrew means “to put a hedge of thorns around, to watch over; to guard, protect and safeguard.” When a farmer plants seed in a garden, he doesn’t just walk away and hope for the best. No! He has much to do to protect his crop. And so do you. What can choke your crop? Walking outside of love. This includes unforgiveness, bitterness and strife. So, keep a watch on your heart, pull the “weeds” out by the root...

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS !

When the devil attempts weakening you with his deceptive thoughts, consciously remind him of God's goodness to you. That's one way by which we win the battle of the mind! ( Psalms 103:1, 2 Corinthians 10:5 & James 4:7 )

THE GREATEST WEAPON !

“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds…. “ 2 Corinthians 10:4 KJV As christians, we are not improverished of ammunitions with which to withstand the enemy and his wiles. Yet these weapons are variably effective. There is, therefore, the need to look into the nature of each of them and reasonably determine the most productive. According to Paul, in the preceding scripture, our arms are not physical; prayer, praise/worship, faith, obedience and Light, are all rather abstract though results-yielding. Now, which of these does satan fear most? Let us find out from the following paragraphs. Prayer is a good arm. It transforms both on the inside and on the outside of us. But if prayer is a request, then satan can pray too; he got far into God’s presence, requesting of His permission to try Job. He demanded of The Lord to sift Peter like wheat. Thus, prayer is not satan’s most-feared ! Afterall, he too can pray to God. D...

CAIN

MEANING OF NAME: Acquisition, fabrication or possessed. STORY IN BRIEF: Eldest son of Adam and Eve, the first man to be born naturally, and founder of the family of Kenites (Kenite is called Kain in the Hebrew) The terrible story of Cain proves how quickly man’s fallen nature developed. Soon after that, he became desperately wicked; it was by him Polygamy started. By calling Cain was an agriculturist, but he was not happy in his calling since he did not fear God. His heart became jealous as he witnessed the happiness of his brother Abel and his favor with God. Ultimately he yielded to his jealous feelings and slew Abel, just as the Jews for envy sought Christ’s death. Because Cain’s heart was destitute of love, his sacrifice had no heart in it and was therefore miserable, worthless and unacceptable to God. “The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, but the prayer of the upright is His delight.” Cain was right in his desire to bring an offe...

” There is profit in all labour but…”

Proverbs 14:23

Our opening scripture says there’s profit in every labour. That’s why He says, ” Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might;…” Afterall, you’ll prosper in everything you do. But the Bible points out that he that’s from above is above all. Thus, one can equally assert that the labour from above is above all other earthly labour. The paragraphs below prove the superiority of kingdom roles over earthly professions.
( Ecclesiastes 9:10, John 3:31 )

FAVOUR & PEACE.
“The blessing of Jehovah, it maketh rich; And he addeth no sorrow therewith…”
Proverbs 10:22.

Peace is never found in wealth. Only God gives true divine peace. Accompanying the FAVOUR of God due to our continued submission to him, is Peace. Peace is the condition of The human Spirit that secures, sustains and multiplies the BLESSING. It comes as a result of our righteousness. And righteousness is the reward of FAVOUR.

JOY
“The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.”
Luke 10:17.

Happiness is for a moment, but Joy lasts forever. The latter was the portion of the disciples after they’d carried out their kingdom assignment. And that shall be our reward too if we do. Joy begets LIGHT. Now when Apostle Paul made this discovery for which he was able to do so much exploits, he handed it over to us, saying, ” rejoice in The Lord “.
( Philipians 4:4 & Isaiah 12:3 )

LONGEVITY & SECURITY.
” If they listen and serve him,
they’ll finish their lives in prosperity
and their years will be pleasant. ” Job 36:11

It’s an undeniable fact that no service in the world has been able to offer this package to her employees. This is because no man can provide life, true lasting peace and good health except God. It’s neither in wealth nor is it in affiliations. And this what The Lord Jesus means when He said, ” Life is not measured by how much you own. “
( Exodus 23:26, Luke 12:15 )

Beloved, God loves business and other forms of work. But let’s endeavor to complement our carreers with kingdom tasks. That way, we will obtain priceless and unpurchasable benefits.
And irrespective of the particular role each of is play for The Lord , there’s a reward awaiting us according our works. So let’s not grow weary in doing good.
